The Obscure is a Los Angeles, California based, invite-only cocktail bar and distillery where patrons are required to dress in all black.[1][2][3][4][5]

Critical reception

The Miami Herald said, "Part of the allure of The Obscure is the mystery. I won’t give too much away, but I can tell you that you’re required to dress in all black and be sure to arrive on time."[2]

Pacific Legal Foundation wrote, "The Obscure’s tasting room feels more like the set of a theatrical production. Candlelight illuminates the way through dark, cavernous ruins lined with lava walls and waterfalls. When visitors enter, they are handed a tarot card and led to their seat, where their two-hour cocktail adventure begins."[1]

USC Annenberg Media reported, "A night at The Obscure is one of those unique experiences that could only exist in a city as hungry for entertainment as Los Angeles.[4]
